On March 13, Fat Wreck Chords releases Death in Venice Beach, the second full-length from The Bombpops.
The new album continues the band's balance of melodic pop hooks, with some darker themes explored along the journey.
The lead single and video ("Double Arrows Down"), shared below concerns a ife-threatening diabetic seizure that Poli van Dam suffered on tour in the fall of 2018, and the record also explores themes of addiction.
The Bombpops previously released Fear Of Missing Out in 2017. They will be on tour this spring, including dates with TightWire, Billy Liar, MakeWar, and Pass Away.
